[NABS-L] internship leads

[Gmail]

I was going to be in the jail system. I had already been approved. That is something I had lined up months ago. Also, I have already done work in the court and I was hoping to do something different for my internship now. Unfortunately, most places around here already have their interns in place, this area has so many programs and colleges that internships are normally lined up six months ahead of time. If not sooner than that. I’m sorry you got rejected to be in the jail, that really sounds like a very big discrimination issue.

>> I found out today that it is very likely I won't be allowed to do my internship this fall due to the fact the jails may not let us in. I was going to be working with a case management team in a regional jail. Now I have a month to try and find an alternative placement. I am a forensic psychology masters student very focused on the CJ system and how to cut recidivism rates. I'm very interested in reentry programs and community programs to address these issues. If anyone knows of any company that may take a last minute intern, especially a remote intern please let me know.
